A. MEANING OF CITIZENSHIP:
THE CITIZEN AND NON-CITIZEN
Citizen- it is a person having the title of citizenship. He is

the member of a democratic community who enjoy full
civil and political rights, and is accorded protection inside
and outside the territory of the state.
Alien- is a citizen of a country who is residing in or
passing through another country. He is popularly called
“foreigner”.
Citizenship is a term denoting
membership of a citizen in a political
society, which membership implies,
reciprocally, a duty of allegiance on
the part of the member and duty of
protection on the part of the state.
B. TRADITIONAL AND MODERN
VIEWS
Traditional Views on Citizenship
Many thinkers point to the concept of citizenship
beginning in the early city-states of ancient Greece,
although others see it as primarily a modern
phenomenon dating back on a few hundred years
and, for mankind, that the concept of citizenship
arose with the first laws. Polis meant both the
political assembly of the city-state as well as the
entire society. Citizenship has generally been
identified as a western phenomenon.
There is a general view that citizenship in ancient times
was a simpler relation than modern forms of citizenship,
although this view has come under scrutiny. The
relation of citizenship has not been a fixed or static
relation, but constantly changed within each society,
and that According to one view, citizenship might “really
have worked” only at select periods during certain
times, such as when the Athenian politician Solon made
reforms in the early Athenians state.
Modern views on citizenship
The modern idea of citizenship still respects the idea
of political participation, but it is usually done through
“elaborate systems of political representation at a
distance” such as representative democracy. Modern
citizenship is much more passive; action is delegated
to others; citizenship is often a constraint on acting,
not an impetus to act. Nevertheless, citizens are
usually aware of their obligations to authorities, and
are aware that these bonds often limit what they can
do.
 Moderncitizenship has often been looked at as two
competing underlying ideas:
 The liberal-individualist or sometimes liberal conception

of citizenship suggests that citizens should have
entitlements necessary for human dignity.
 The civic-republican or sometimes classical or civic

humanist conception of citizenship emphasizes man’s
political nature, and sees citizenship as an active
process, not a passive state or legal marker
What is participatory citizenship?
A citizen that is active at local, state, or national levels in
addressing social issues relevant to the community by learning
how government systems work and taking part in community-
based initiatives.
 Ways Citizens can Participate

 Looking for information in newspaper, magazines, and
reference materials and judging its accuracy: Voting in local,
state, and national elections; Participating in a political
discussion; Trying to persuade someone to vote a certain way.
Should Citizens Participate?
Many citizens do not participate in our
government. They don’t vote or participate in
most of the other ways you have just discussed.
However, some people believe that citizens have
a responsibility to participate.
C. Principles of citizenship
The Principles of Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis
Jus Soli a. k. a. By birth – the acquisition of

citizenship on the basis of place of birth.
Jus Sanguinis a. k. a. By blood – the acquisition

of citizenship on the basis of blood relationship.
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
Republic Act 9225 otherwise known as the Citizenship
Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003 (more popularly known
as the Dual Citizenship Law) enables former natural- born
Filipinos who have become naturalized citizens of another
country to retain/reacquire their Philippine citizenship by
taking an oath of allegiance to the Republic of the Philippine
Consular Officer. Under the principle of derivative citizenship,
unmarried children under eighteen (18) years of age of those
who reacquired Philippine citizenship are also deemed Filipino
citizens.
Different countries have different rules for
conferring citizenship, an individual can be a
citizen of more than one nation.
Dual nationality can also arise through
naturalization.
Dual nationality is not without problems.
